Self-Infliction

Have you ever tried to embarrass your kids out of a bad behavior? I've tried a few times, but it never works. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop trying.

So Meg likes to give herself hickies on her arm. Nice, huh?

I thought I'd try (one more time) to embarrass her from doing it again.

Me: Megan, that looks so bad.

Megan shrugs as if to say she doesn't care.

Me: What are you going to tell your friends when they ask you what happened to your arm?

Megan: I'll tell them I bit it until it made a mark.

Me: Oh.

Dang it.
